The Tell-Tale Brain: A Neuroscientist's Quest for What Makes Us Human by V.S. Ramachandran

5.0

A book chock-full of fascinating questions coupled with even more intriguing answers. Why are we self-aware? What makes us perceive the world the way we do? What can we learn about the inner workings of our minds from people suffering from synesthesia or phantom limb syndrome? Is Buddhism right in claiming that there is no separation between the self and others around us? Or that the mind and body are not one, not two -- but both one and two simultaneously?

A phenomenal read which I highly recommend to all owners of a brain.
